Carrie Workout Princeton Day

Had a nice time in Princeton today. Carrie worked the girls super hard. They needed it because it had been a while and they don't push themselves as hard anywhere else the way they do with Carrie. We have to get them down there more on free weekends during AAU season.



Great day with Carrie, Woody and Stone all going all out. Carrie had them do their ball handling drills and then it was all about footwork, shooting, taking what your defender gives you. Gave me lots of ideas of simple stuff to work with Grace on. Wish I had kept track of their shots because both girls shot some crazy percentage. I mean, they should be able to hit from their spots by now but this was just stupid, they weren't missing. Short jumpers, layups, didn't matter. Their reckoning came at the end when they played beat the pro with Carrie hitting three pointer after three pointer from every spot behind the arc and the girls trying to play catchup with short jumpers, they got smoked!

Town was crowded but the girls got their reward of pizza from Iano's and frozen yogurt from the Twist and Woody got back just in time for her friends birthday party.

Defensive rotation is critical as it is in all zone defenses. This can be a fun defense to play that confuses offenses and leads to steals and breaks. It does put pressure on your post players and can expose the corners. Basic Rotations and Positions of the 3-2 (1-2-2) zone Starting Positions    Ball on wing: Defender 3 comes out to guard the ball. Defender 1 drops down to the high post area.    Ball in corner: Defender 5 goes out to guard the ball. Defender 4 slides over to defend the low post. Defender 2 drops down to either defend the opposite low block or the wing if a skip pass is thrown. Defender 1 defends the high post area. Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
